Charcoal Basket

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a Charcoal Basket by an unknown artist. The basket is made of woven material, likely bamboo or rattan, in shades of brown and tan. The basket is rectangular with rounded corners and has a flat bottom. The inside of the basket appears to be lined with a black material. The basket is sitting on a plain white surface, and the background is a plain white color. The basket is positioned in the center of the image, with its front facing the camera. The image is well-lit, with no harsh shadows. The basket's woven pattern consists of horizontal and vertical strips. The basket's edges are slightly raised. The image presents a straightforward, unadorned view of the basket.
